Trap Candle (Trend H4 + RSI Filter)🔍 Trap Candle (Trend H4 + RSI Filter)
Description:
The Trap Candle indicator is designed to identify a specific and powerful two-candle price action pattern that often signals a false breakout followed by a strong reversal. It combines pure price action with two objective filters to increase signal quality and trend alignment.
📊 Pattern Logic:
Bullish Trap: The current candle breaks the previous candle’s low, but closes above its high (and is bullish).
Bearish Trap: The current candle breaks the previous candle’s high, but closes below its low (and is bearish).
This pattern often reveals institutional traps or stop hunts before directional movement.
🧠 Trend Filter (H4):
Ensures long signals occur only when the H4 close is higher than the previous H4 close (uptrend).
Ensures short signals occur only in a H4 downtrend.
Designed to align intraday entries (M15, H1) with higher timeframe momentum.
💪 RSI Confirmation:
Includes a configurable RSI filter on the current timeframe.
Only long signals are shown when RSI is above a user-defined threshold (e.g. 55).
Only short signals are shown when RSI is below a user-defined threshold (e.g. 45).
⚙️ Key Features:
Full customization of RSI period and thresholds.
Clean, visual signal plotting on the chart (with “Trap L” or “Trap S” labels).
Built-in alerts for both long and short trap candle setups.
Perfect for traders who want to trade smart reversals with trend and momentum confirmation.
✅ Recommended Timeframes:
M15 and H1 (entry)
Uses H4 for trend bias
If you’re looking to filter out noise and spot only the highest quality reversal setups, the Trap Candle (Trend H4 + RSI Filter) is a solid tool for any price action-based strategy.

Price-EMA Z-Score Backgroundhe “Price‑to‑EMA Z‑Score Background” indicator is designed to give you a clear, visual sense of when price has moved unusually far away from its smoothed trend, and to highlight those moments as potential overextension or mean‑reversion opportunities. Under the hood, it first computes a standard exponential moving average (EMA) of your chosen lookback length, then measures the raw difference between the current close and that EMA on every bar. To make that raw deviation comparable across different markets and timeframes, it converts the series of differences into a z‑score—subtracting the rolling mean of the deviations and dividing by their rolling standard deviation over a second lookback window.
Once you’ve normalized price‑to‑EMA distance into z‑score units, you can set two simple trigger levels: one upper threshold and one lower threshold. Whenever the z‑score climbs above the upper threshold, the chart background glows green, signaling that price is extended far above its EMA (and might be ripe for a pullback). Whenever the z‑score falls below the lower threshold, the background turns red, calling out an equally extreme move below the EMA (and a possible oversold bounce). Between those bands, no shading appears, letting you know price is trading within its “normal” range around the trend.
By adjusting the EMA period, the z‑score lookback, and the two trigger levels, you can dial in early warning signals (e.g. ±1 σ) or wait for very stretched moves (±2 σ or more). Used in concert with your favorite momentum or pattern tools—or even as a standalone visual cue—this simple background‑shading approach makes it easy to spot when a market is running too hot or too cold relative to its own recent average.
Yield Curve Regime Shading with LegendTakes two symbols (e.g. two futures contracts, two FX pairs, etc.) as inputs.
Calculates the “regime” as the sign of the change in their difference over an n‑period lookback.
Lets you choose whether you want to color the bars themselves or shade the background.
How it works
Inputs
symbolA, symbolB: the two tickers you’re comparing.
n: lookback in bars to measure the change in the spread.
mode: pick between “Shading” or “Candle Color”.
Data fetching
We use request.security() to pull each series at the chart’s timeframe.
Regime calculation
spread = priceA – priceB
spreadPrev = ta.valuewhen(not na(spread), spread , 0) (i.e. the spread n bars ago)
If spread > spreadPrev → bullish regime
If spread < spreadPrev → bearish regime
Plotting
Shading: apply bgcolor() in green/red.
Candle Color: use barcolor() to override the bar color.

4 Flags Whale PatternThis indicator detects a unique 4-bar candlestick pattern characterized by alternating bullish and bearish candles (or vice versa), where all four candles have similar body sizes within a specified tolerance.
Usage:
This pattern may indicate a consolidation phase or a potential breakout zone after indecisive price action. Traders can use it to anticipate a directional move following the "tug-of-war" between buyers and sellers.
Simple Sessions & LevelsWhat this indicator does:
This script marks out two essential types of price levels for intraday and swing traders:
The high and low of a customizable 15-minute opening range after the market/session open.
The previous day’s high, midpoint (“halfback”), and low.
How it works:
The script lets you set the session start time (hour and minute) to match your market.
It then calculates the high and low of the first 15 minutes after the session opens and plots those as solid lines.
It also plots the prior day’s high, halfback (midpoint), and low on your chart for easy reference.
Each line and each label can be toggled on or off independently in the settings for maximum customization.
Colors for each level are also fully customizable.
How to use it:
Add the script to your chart.
Set the session start hour and minute to match the open of the market or instrument you trade.
Choose which levels and labels you want displayed by using the toggles in the settings.
The indicator will automatically draw the session range and prior day levels for you.
Use these lines as reference for key support, resistance, and potential trade entry/exit points.
What makes it unique and useful:
This tool combines a flexible session opening range with classic daily reference levels in one package. You have complete control over which levels and labels are shown, making it adaptable for any trading style. It’s especially useful for day traders who want to quickly identify volatility windows and the most important price levels from the previous session.
Simple Risk-to-Reward (R) Indicator (TP1–TP2)What this indicator does:
This tool helps traders clearly visualize their risk and reward on any trade by plotting their entry, stop loss, and take-profit (TP) levels directly on the chart. It’s designed to make manual trade planning more visual and systematic.
How it works:
You set your planned entry price, whether you want to plot a Long or Short setup, and your stop-loss distance (in ticks).
The indicator calculates your stop-loss level and automatically plots it on the chart.
It then draws take-profit levels at 1R and 2R (where “R” is your risk, the distance between entry and stop).
You can toggle the TP1 and TP2 lines on or off to suit your preference.
How to use it:
Open the settings and enter your intended entry price.
Select “Long Setup” for a buy trade, or turn it off for a sell/short trade.
Enter your desired stop loss in ticks.
Choose which take-profit levels to display by toggling TP1 and TP2.
The indicator will show entry, stop, and take-profit levels right on your chart so you can easily see your planned risk/reward.
What makes it unique and useful:
This indicator is designed for manual trade planning, giving you full control over your inputs and letting you instantly see your risk/reward on any instrument or timeframe. Unlike some built-in tools, it supports both long and short trades, lets you set all levels manually, and keeps your charts clean and easy to interpret.

Daily Candle BoxDaily candle overlay, high, low, and candle color based on open and close
Charts included in script: '3m', '5m', '15m', '1H'
1. Visualizes Key Daily Levels on Lower Timeframes:
The indicator overlays the previous day’s high and low as a box on a lower timeframe chart (e.g., 5-minute). This highlights critical support and resistance levels from the daily timeframe, making it easier to see where price might react without switching to a daily chart.
Use Case: Traders can identify potential reversal or breakout zones on intraday charts, aligning lower timeframe trades with higher timeframe structure.
2. Simplifies Intraday Trading Decisions:
By showing the previous day’s range (high to low) as a box, it provides a clear context for intraday price action. For example, if the price approaches the box’s top (previous day’s high), traders might anticipate resistance or a breakout.
Use Case: Useful for scalpers or day traders who need to quickly assess whether the price is near significant daily levels for entries, exits, or stop-loss placement.
3. Highlights Daily Candle Direction:
The box’s color (green for bullish, red for bearish) indicates whether the previous day’s close was above or below its open. This provides a quick visual cue about the prior day’s market sentiment.

ALMA Trend-boxALMA Trend-box — an innovative indicator for detecting trend and consolidation based on the ALMA moving average
This indicator combines the Adaptive Laguerre Moving Average (ALMA) with unique visual representations of trend and consolidation zones, providing traders with clearer and deeper insight into current market conditions.
Originality and Usefulness
Unlike classic indicators based on simple moving averages, ALMA uses a Gaussian weighting function and an offset parameter to reduce lag, resulting in smoother and more accurate trend signals. This indicator not only plots the ALMA but also analyzes the slope angle of the ALMA line, combining it with the price’s position relative to the moving average to identify three key market states:
Uptrend (bullish): when the ALMA slope angle is above a defined threshold and the price is above ALMA,
Downtrend (bearish): when the slope angle is below a negative threshold and the price is below ALMA,
Consolidation or sideways trend: when neither of the above conditions is met.
A special contribution is the automatic identification of consolidation zones (periods of weak trend or transition between bullish and bearish phases), visually represented by blue-colored candlesticks on the chart. This feature can help traders better recognize moments when the market is indecisive and adjust their strategies accordingly.
How the Indicator Works
ALMA is calculated using user-defined parameters — length, offset, and sigma — which can be adjusted for different timeframes and instruments.
The slope angle of the ALMA line is calculated based on the difference between the current and previous ALMA values, converted into degrees.
Based on the slope angle and the relative price position to ALMA, the indicator determines the trend type and changes the candle colors accordingly:
Green for bullish (uptrend),
Red for bearish (downtrend),
Blue for sideways trend (consolidation).
When the slope angle falls within a certain range and the price behavior contradicts the trend, the indicator detects consolidation and displays it graphically through semi-transparent boxes and background color.
How to Use This Indicator
Use candle colors for quick identification of the current trend and potential trend reversals.
Pay attention to consolidation zones marked by boxes (blue candles), as these are potential signals for trend breaks or preparation for stronger price moves.
ALMA parameters can be adjusted depending on the timeframe and market volatility, providing flexibility in analysis.
The indicator is useful for both short-term scalping strategies and longer-term trend monitoring and position management.
Why This Indicator is Useful
Many existing trend indicators do not consider the slope angle of the moving average as a quantitative measure of trend strength, nor do they automatically detect consolidations as separate zones. ALMA Trend-box fills this gap by combining sophisticated mathematical processing with simple and intuitive visual representation. This way, users get a tool that helps make decisions based on more objective criteria of trend and consolidation rather than just price location relative to averages.
Devils MarkThe Devil’s Mark Indicator identifies bullish or bearish candlesticks with no opposing wick, plotting a horizontal line at the open/low (bullish) or open/high (bearish) price to mark the inefficiency.
This line highlights the level where price is expected to retrace to form the missing wick, serving as a visual cue.
The line is automatically removed from the chart once price crosses it, confirming the inefficiency has been rebalanced.
80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)I created this script to show the 80% opportunity on chart if setting lines up.
"80% rule: Open outside the vah or Val. Spend 30 mins outside there then break back inside spend 15 mins below or above depending which way u broke. Then come back and retest the vah/val and take it to the poc as a first target with the final target being the other Val/vah "
📌 Script Summary
The "80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)" overlays your chart with prior session value area levels (VAH, VAL, and POC) calculated from extended-hours 30-minute data. It tracks when the price reenters the value area and confirms 80% Rule setups during your chosen trading session.

Scanner Candles v2.01The "Scanner Candle v.2.01" is an indicator classifies candles based on the body/range ratio: indecisive (small body, ≤50%), decisive (medium body), explosive (large body, ≥70%). It includes EMAs to identify trends and "Reset Candles" (RC), small-bodied candles near EMAs, signaling potential reversals or continuations. Useful for analyzing volatility, breakouts, reversals, and risk management.
Description of the indicator:
The "Scanner Candle v.2.01" indicator classifies candles into three categories based on the proportion of the candle's body to its range (high-low):
Indecisive: candles with a small body (≤ set threshold, default 50%), indicating low volatility or market uncertainty.
Decisive: candles with a medium body, reflecting a clear but not extreme price movement.
Explosive: candles with a large body (≥ set threshold, default 70%), signaling strong directional moves.
Additionally, the indicator includes:
Customizable exponential moving averages (EMAs) to identify trends and support/resistance levels.
Detection of "Reset Candles" (RC), specific candles (e.g., dojis, ) with a small bodies body near EMAs, useful for identifying potential reversal or continuation points.
Coloring and visualization:
Candles are colored by category (white for indecisive, orange for decisive, purple for explosive).
Reset Candles are marked with circles above/below the candle (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Potential uses:
Volatility analysis: Identifying uncertain (indecisive), directional (decisive), or impulsive (explosive) market phases.
Breakout trading: Explosive candles can signal entry opportunities on strong moves.
Reversal detection: Reset Candles near EMAs can indicate turning points or trend continuation.
Trend-following support: Integrated EMAs contextualize candles within the main trend.
Risk management: Indecisive candles suggest avoiding trades in low-directionality phases.
The indicator is customizable (thresholds, colors, thresholdsEMAs, ) and adaptable to various timeframes and strategies, from day trading to swing trading.
Reset Candles:
Reset Candles (RC) are specific candles signaling potential reversals or continuations, often near EMAs. They are defined by:
Small body: Body < 5% of the range of the last 10 candles, indicating low volatility (e.g., doji).
EMA proximity: The candle is near or crosses a defined EMA (e.g., 10, 60, or 223 periods).
Trend conditions: Follows a red candle, with the close of the previous previous candles above a specific EMA, suggesting a potential bullish resumption or stabilization.
Limited spike: The candle has minimal tails (spikes, ) below a set threshold (default 1%).
Minimum timeframe: Appears on timeframes ≥ set value (default 5 minutes) or daily charts.
Non-consecutive: Not preceded by other RCs in the last 3 candles.
Types:
Doji_fin: Green circle above, signaling a bullish bullish setup near longer EMAs.
Dojifin_2: Yellow Red circle below, signaling a bearish setup near shorter EMAs.
Trading uses:
Reversal: RCs near EMAs signal bounces or rejections, ideal for counter-trend trades.
Continuation: In trends, RCs indicate pauses before trend resumption, offering low-risk entries.
Support/resistance confirmation: EMA proximity strengthens the level's significance.
Risk management: Small bodies and EMA proximity allow tight stop-losses.
Limitations:
False signals: Common in volatile or sideways markets; use with additional confirmation.
Timeframe dependency: More reliable on higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or daily).
Customization needed: Thresholds (e.g., spike, timeframe) must be tailored to the market.
Conclusion:
Reset Candles highlight low-volatility moments near technical levels (EMAs) that may precede significant moves. They are ideal for precise entries with tight stops in reversal or continuation strategies but require clear market context and additional confirmation for optimal effectiveness.

Breakout Confirmation🔍 Indicator Name: Breakout Confirmation (Body + Volume)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator is designed to detect high-probability breakout setups based on price structure and volume strength. It identifies moments when the market breaks through a key support or resistance level, confirmed by two consecutive strong candles with large real bodies and high volume.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses pivot points to identify potential horizontal support and resistance levels.
A pivot high or pivot low is considered valid if it stands out over a configurable number of candles (default: 50).
Only the most recent valid support and resistance levels are tracked and displayed as horizontal lines on the chart.
2. Breakout Setup
The breakout condition is defined as:
First Candle (Breakout Candle):
Large body (compared to the recent body average)
High volume (compared to the recent volume average)
Must close beyond a resistance or support level:
Close above resistance (bullish breakout)
Close below support (bearish breakout)
Second Candle (Confirmation Candle):
Also must have a large body and high volume
Must continue in the direction of the breakout (i.e., higher close in bullish breakouts, lower close in bearish ones)
3. Signal Plotting
If both candles meet the criteria, the indicator plots:
A green triangle below the candle for bullish breakouts
A red triangle above the candle for bearish breakouts
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
✅ Green triangle below a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bullish breakout.
The price has closed above a recent resistance level with strength.
The trend may continue higher — possible entry for long positions.
🔻 Red triangle above a candle:
Indicates a confirmed bearish breakout.
The price has closed below a recent support level with strength.
Potential signal to enter short or exit long positions.
⚠️ The plotted horizontal lines show the last key support and resistance levels. These are the zones being monitored for breakouts.
📊 How to Use It
Timeframe: Works best on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily), but can be tested on any chart.
Entry: Consider entries after the second candle confirms the breakout.
Stop Loss:
For longs: Below the breakout candle or the broken resistance
For shorts: Above the breakout candle or broken support
Take Profit:
Based on previous structure, risk:reward ratios, or using trailing stops.
Filter with Trend or Other Indicators (optional):
You can combine this with moving averages, RSI, or market structure for confluence.

FVG fill with immediate rebalance [LuciTech]The "FVG fill with immediate rebalance AKA Golden Arrow" indicator is designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and detect immediate rebalances to highlight potential trading opportunities. It uses colored boxes to mark FVGs and triangular markers to signal bullish or bearish setups, helping traders pinpoint key price levels where imbalances occur and price reactions are likely.
Key Features
FVG Detection: Spots bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps based on price action, with customizable width settings.
Golden Arrow Signals: Displays triangular markers when price fills an FVG and immediately rebalances, indicating potential reversal or continuation zones.
Customizable Colors: Bullish FVGs appear in green and bearish FVGs in red by default, with options to tweak colors in the settings.
Time Filter: Allows signals to be restricted to a specific time window, highlighted by a background fill for clarity.
Alert System: Supports TradingView alerts for "Bullish Golden Arrow" and "Bearish Golden Arrow" signals to keep traders updated on setups.
How It Works
FVG Calculation: Analyzes gaps between candles to identify FVGs, with user-defined minimum width options (points, percentages, or ATR-based).
Signal Generation: Triggers a Golden Arrow signal when price fills the FVG and rebalances immediately, based on wick penetration and closing conditions.
Visual Aids:
Bullish FVGs are shown as green boxes, bearish FVGs as red boxes.
Upward triangles mark bullish signals, downward triangles mark bearish signals.
Time-Based Filtering: Optionally limits signals to specific hours, with a background fill showing the active period.
